    Gears Tactics on Xbox is one of the best attempts to craft a new turn-based squad shooter game. A rough-hewn, challenging game with a long campaign and lots of options to customize your characters, along with a whole new game-mode, means that Gears Tactics is a must play game for any fans of the Gears universe, turn-based strategy titles or squad tactics games.

    If all you want is XCOM-style combat set in the Gears universe then Gears Tactics will be sure to satisfy but just don't expect it to offer a fully-featured immersive campaign that's anything beyond simply beating mission after mission.

    This is an unexpectedly fantastic tactics game. I had an absolute blast playing this. The quality here is far and above what most games ofThis is an unexpectedly fantastic tactics game. I had an absolute blast playing this. The quality here is far and above what most games of this genre tend to be. The graphics are not incredible in general but for a tactics game they are very impressive. The cutscenes and story are on par with most of the gears series, maybe just a tad shallow but that's expected.
    My only gripes with this are the progression is just a tad slow. You'll get to choose your team for every mission and you get replacement units after after mission that you can choose for the following levels. The problem is, you'll constantly get replacement soldiers that are very often far superior than the soldiers you already have. I was legitimately only able to keep one character that wasn't a main character leveled up enough to use consistently. And in order to do that, I had to use that soldier in every single mission I could. It's a very small problem, but definitely noticeable. A small tweak to the experience would fix this issue but it does force you to change your team frequently which I suppose some people may like.
    The missions get a bit repetitive towards the end game and I grew a bit tired of the mandatory side missions thrown at you between every story mission but all in all, it was a really, really fun experience. I can't say enough how impressed I am with this game. Usually with these spin off titles, you can expect a watered down, low effort experience but that is definitely not the case here. The game looks awesome, plays better and has fantastic mechanics that definitely feel like they belong in a gears of war game. I absolutely enjoyed this game and would 100 percent recommend it to anyone that is a fan of XCOM or turn based strategy games. Even if you aren't and just enjoyed the Gears games, go ahead and give it a try because this game does a fantastic job of continuing the story and implementing things that are core to the gears experience in every bit of the game.    … Expand

    Trash xcom clone, mouse and keyboard support is also really bad as it lags and does whatever it wants with itself
